Abstract: This paper will examine efforts to contextualize the gospel in the South Pacific through visual art during the late 20th century. Contextual hermeneutical methods employed for the production of Christian visual art will be considered. Examples of Christian contextual art produced will be evaluated to discern what aspects of Gospel texts were accentuated to resonate with core Pacific Islander cultural values. Specific attention shall be focused on the Christian art produced by Robert Park for the Anglican Diocese of Polynesia.
